Ok, It's been a while since the last update, I'm sorry. My vacations were good, by the way. And you know this band called Arctic Monkeys? Well they're going to make a show here in my country and I'm going. I have the tickets. I'm freaking out inside. But who cares? Not you, I'm pretty sure, but I still love you :)

Backing to the story, I think this chapter should be the best till now, buuuut... Well, it's pretty sucks actually :(

Very sorry, but that's what I have to you, enjoy.

(And before I forget to say, I received a wonderful review, and I want to marry it. Thank you so much the guest who wrote it, I appreciate your act of kindness :)) [and once again, sorry if this chapter isn't as good as you expected])

[Yukio's POV]

After ten minutes walking, I stop. I was really trying to pretend that he wasn't here, but it got to a point that it's almost ridiculous. Plus, I'm pretty near to the office, and I don't want him with me when I get there. So I turn around and say:

"Nii-san, I know your here". With this, he jump from behind a vase.

"How long did you know?"

"About 10 minutes"

"But that's when I started following you!"

"Exactly". He looks at me astonished.

"How did you know?"

"Seriously? You don't even try to be discreet. Actually, I think you did much more noise than usual". He was about to complain, but I quickly cut him off. "But that doesn't matter, the real question is why were you following me, to start with"

He stop for a second acting like he was the victim and say "Know what? I'm worried. And also a bit annoyed. I mean, it seems like everyone is hiding something from me. You, Shiemi, and even Mitsuko. But you are the worst. You know other day when I asked if you had some problem and you said that was everything ok? You lied"

I stare at him. That morning I was pretty worried about all this inherit thing, and that's also why I'm going to Mephisto's office now, to ask him about it. I told nii-san that everything was fine, but somehow he knew that it wasn't true. He may be kinda moron, but sometimes he can say exactly what's true and what's not, especially handling with people next to him. So, actually it's not that surprisingly that he knew I was lying, but that he also suspect that Mitsuko is hiding something.

"I'm hiding nothing", I said while turning around and keep going.

"See? Lying again. And by the way, where are you going?", and he is following me.

"Doesn't matter", now I'm in the hallway, the office is some doors ahead.

"With sure it matter!"

"But that's not of your business!", I burst.

I turn around to face him, completely losing my temper, but when I see him, forget everything that just passed. He's frozen in the middle of the hallway, his face blank.

"Nii-san? Are you ok? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...". He puts a hand in my shoulder and slightly turns his head to face a door. Mephisto's door, being more exactly.

"What?". After some seconds he looks at me.

"Don't you hear?"

"No, what are you talking about?". I look at the door, some noises from inside. "You didn't actually hear what they were saying... Did you?"

"Yes". My eyes widen. How could him manage to do it? But before I could think of something, my attention is shifted to the door, which is opening. And who comes from inside is Mitsuko. She is as astonished and nervous as me, and we face each other, don't knowing what to say.

[Mitsuko's POV]

"You received my letter? Great!~", Mephisto greeted me as I entered the office.

"Yes. What's this about?", I say while closing the door.

"Well, I want to talk about an important issue. Please, take a seat~"

I seat and look around. Everything is exactly the same as when I first came here, some days ago. Even my despair, but for a different reason. Now, I'm afraid of what he's going to do with me, but I got the feeling that I'm about to discover it.

"Well, well. Now that I have a better knowledge about your situation, we just have to make clear some points", I nod, and he turns the chair to the window behind. "I've been wondering about all of this and I think that when you came here to enrol yourself you wasn't really intending to stay for much long... And I am curious to know what you are planning to do next". I stay quiet. Neither I know what I'm planning. "Well, that's what I thought", but it's what come next that surprises me: "That's understandable". I raise an eyebrow.

He turns again the chair to face me and says "I mean, you had lost everyone, and had no idea of what to do. So you ran away seeking for someone and your only hope was to find your brothers, that you didn't even knew. Conclusion, you came to an other city and enrol in a academy to search for someone without no guarantee that you will make it. Plus, you didn't know how long it would take and your money won't last forever". I stare at him. Everything he said was true, and I don't remember telling him some of them...

He looks straight in my eyes, taking back my attention, that was slightly replaced by my thoughts, and say "You were in shock, desperate, lost. And still are"

My expression is the same and I'm still looking at him, but not at all. My mind is in somewhere else, incapable of focus in anything. Why is he saying all of this?

"Are you ok?", a pretty small sign of worry in his voice.

"Just... Just tell me what was it all for"

For a moment of silence, he looked at me, for real, now the worry in his face, even if I badly could see it. And then, he calmly say "I want to help you"

I fold my arms and look up. There is disgust in my voice when I speak again, "Why are you doing this for me? For them? Why do you care? And more important, you're doing this even we being who we are"

And then, cynically he simply says "What?~ I can't help my little siblings?"

My eyes widen and I instinctively slowly unfold my arms. "What?"

"It's exactly what you heard. But no need to despair, I'm with you"

I seat back in the chair, blink and bite my lower lip. After a moment facing nothing, I finally say "How you can help?"

"I can take care of you"

"Like a guardian?", I raise an eyebrow.

"Exactly"

"Rin and Yukio don't know about me"

"Yes, I know. And I won't interfere if you don't want"

"I don't"

"Understandable. But I think you're going to have some problems with that"

"... Why?"

He looks ahead and I follow the direction, finding the door. I quickly turn again to look at him, who nods. My eyes widen once more and I practically jump out of the chair, running to the door, and when I open it, I'm staring at Yukio. He's astonished. Why is he astonished? Did he hear something? Oh God, I want to kill myself.

[Rin's POV]

"Hey, Mitsuko, you're here". She and Yukio were staring at each other. Maybe they forgot that I'm here. Damn it, they look at me as I speak the first thing that came up in my mind.

"Hey, Rin... What're doing here?"

"Hum, actually I was following Yukio". They change glances and then look again at me. "I think he's going to do something around here". Yukio facepalms and I swear I heard laughs from inside the office, and like if she was confirming, Mitsuko looks behind to the room.

"Yes, I was going to talk with Mephisto..."

"Oh, alright, I already finished here...", And awkwardly finishes opening the door, where she was supporting herself, and take some steps ahead. "So, see you later...". Her face is red when she waves and turns around, going away.

"That was weird"

"Yes...", Yukio says, badly paying attention.

"Right... Bye... Oh, and don't think I forgot, we'll finish our talk later!"

"Bye Rin". And that's the last thing that he said before closing the door.

I start walking, but after some steps, I change my mind and go back a bit to try to listen they.

"What happened with my left eye?"

"Not just your eye. And I believe you're smart enough to know the answer, but you're just afraid of it"

And there's silence for a minute.

"So... I also inherited..."

"Every single one of you..."

And I run away.

It was at least strange enough what I heard from Mitsuko's talk... But there's also this with Yukio? Every single one of you... Inherit... Me and Yukio with sure gotta have that talk... .

• • •

"Oi, Mitsuko, wait!". As soon as I left the corridor, I ran towards Mitsuko. I found her downstairs some meters ahead. As she heard me calling her, she started walking faster and goes to the corridor in the left. I start to run faster and quickly reache her. "Wait, I want to talk with you!".

She finally stops, but doesn't look behind when say "About what?"

"Your talk with Mephisto"

"...". She turns to look at me. "So you heard"

"Part of it, actually"

She analyses me."Do you really want to know?"

"Yes"

She holds her breath and says "Ok". And then takes my hand and start walking.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere"

Some minutes later, we sit next to a tree in the lawn where, there's no one around, but still she looks both ways before take a deep breath and look at me again. "Right, what I'm going to tell you will seems the strangest thing that you have ever heard, no exaggeration, and, and..."

"Ok, just say it!". She looks astonished at me, and also a bit worried. "Look, I already saw many strange things, damn, I'm a strange thing, so whatever you're trying to say, just say, i won't judge you, promise"

She looks down, now more indecisive than desperate, but calmer. "What... What did you hear?"

"Mephisto was saying that he could take your guard"

"Right...". I look at her, waiting for the next part, but nothing comes.

"Hum... Why did he say that?"

"I... I don't have family. My aunt died last month. Well, actually she was my adoptive mother..."

"...". "I also lost someone. He was like a father to me"

"And why did you come here?"

"I aim something, that's how I'm getting prepared"

"And what is it?"

"Defeat Satan". I'm not looking at her, but I can feel her look over me. I was waiting fir someyhing like what Izumo told Suguro when she discovered that he wanted to defeat Satan, but what she says is completely different.

"He was the one who killed your father?". Her voice was calm, and the way she talked was like if she really cared about that.

"Yes". I have a look at her, who is now staring at the ground and pulling the grass.

"And how do you feel being his son?"

"Well, that's something completely different. Not that enjoy it, but this is me, and I can't hate everything related to him. It's true that I somehow hate Mephisto and Amaimon, but they can be sucks by their selves"

"So... you wouldn't hate me if I was your sister?"

"No, why would I... Wait, is this for real?". She shyly nods.

"So that's why you were so nervous to tell me"

"Aren't you surprides?"

"Of course I am, but when you say my sister..."

"We are triplets"

"...". I face her, nothing special and her again. "How?"

"It's a long story, I can tell you later. But please, don't tell anyone"

"Why?". She bite her lip and I waited for a moment before say:

"I'm afraid..."

"Of what the others will think? Why? They already accepted me, and believe me, my case was was much worst than yours"

"No, that's not it don't understand... I... I have the flames, but I never used them. I'm still human. Well, the most human that is possible for me"

"You're sealed", she nods.

When I unsheathed my katana for first time, it was life or death, or I lost all my chances of living as a human or I would go to gehenna. There was also the option to wait for a miracle, but it of course wouldn't happen. In resume, I didn't have option.

But she, well, she has. And that's why she's afraid.

She's is afraid of losing her humanity.
